this had me going, then it didn't

Just doing a litte cleanup in the car today and re-discovered a button/snap cover that fell out of my pouch the other day. First glance I thought nothing of it, then I see a crown and laurel wreath!, and then writing, well, too much writing

First I read Boston, not what I was thinking, then I decipher Filene's

work coat or overalls, not old

I thought I had a new military button to share, next time I hope
it does have the look

I think I would have given up if it would have been an early military! :laughing7: Or just stayed and hunted in the car while you hit the fields.

Not sure if this would make find of the day or not, most likely not!
My backseat has been good for finds in the past every so often, due to pouch spills,this wasn't one of those times

If the ground holds up I think I'm going to take one last shot at it this weekend, out at the Rosa and surrounding fields. If there's ever a place that has come through for me that has to be it!

I'll be durned if that don't look like an old military button though!

Yeah I can see why. If just that word wasn't in the center, you would be still scratching your head.

As has been said lately, at least your getting out,...could be a very short "off season" this time. Here's to hoping.

Higgy, I like your signature. Goes along with "you rest, you rust", you got to keep on keepin' on.

Those darned heart stoppers! Not sure if I'd rather not find them, or find more of them, lol.
